About this map

The Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta serves as the dominant geographical feature of this 2012 survey, where the Sacramento River and San Joaquin River converge amid a complex network of islands and sloughs. Historically significant waterfronts are well represented, from the industrial character of Pittsburg and Antioch to smaller riverfront outposts like Collinsville and Montezuma Landing. The map illustrates a landscape shaped by both natural hydrology and human utility, featuring the Sherman Island Gas Field and the Mokelumne Aqueduct infrastructure.

Genealogical interest is centered on the southern half of the sheet, which names the Holly Cross Cem, New Holy Cross Cem, and Oak View Memorial Park. The transition from the elevated Montezuma Hills in the north to the low-lying reaches of Sherman Island and Kimball Island highlights the reclaimed nature of the delta, while landmarks like the Antioch Bridge and Antioch City Marina show the modern connectivity of this river-bound region.
